Yesterday we saw #259 at CPP. They use this car to update continuously with the production parts. Between the first real Aileron and this one, a thousand parts have changed. Calling the orange Aileron a pre-production car, is a misnomer. It is just a driving prototype.

Our visit to CPP was very inspiring. We did not get to see everything, but there were quite a few Aileron bodies around. Just as many as Aston Martin 1/77 bodies they were producing.

Brendan O'Toole is just the best supporter for Spyker and his skills are a great asset.

Thanks Rijk! Do you have any info on other ailerons, or are they all still in a body in white stage? I know that one silver-white aileron with turquoise interior will be or is being build... can you confirm?

I'm sorry, but this is not inspiring at all. The Aileron made its debut at the Geneva show in March of 2009! Here we are, August of 2010 now, and still no production Ailerons, when we were told that CPP had begun production this past March. I am guessing that the switch to GM power is now causing further delays?

Spyker is in danger of squandering a fantastic opportunity that they have earned, with all the publicity they have gotten from the purchase of Saab. To date we have only seen about three 2010 cars, and those have been the "old" C8. Spyker had better start turning out some cars, or people are going to lose faith, cancel orders, etc. The year end report should be very interesting indeed.
